Jaden Philogene, a native of England, saw the light of day on the 8th of February, 2002. Now aged 22 years, he has carved out a reputation as a fleet-footed forward primarily functioning in the position of a right winger for Aston Villa. Measuring 5ft 10in (1.79m) in height and tipping the scales at 10st 7lb (67kg), Philogene is a commanding presence on the field, donning the number 16 jersey. He has also worn the three lions on his chest at the U21 level for England.
The nifty winger's services don't come cheap, commanding a current market value of approximately £12.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Aston Villa have him tied down on a contract that has 4 and a half years left to expire, with the end date penned on 30 June 2029.
Philogene made his presence known, albeit slightly, during the 2020-2021 season at Aston Villa, featuring only once for the first team. The following 2021-2022 season was a mirror image of the previous one, as he once again graced the Villa Park turf just once.
A temporary move to Stoke City in the very same season saw Philogene make 11 first team appearances and notch up a single goal. The following 2022-2023 season was split between a loan spell at Cardiff City, where he walked onto the pitch 37 times and celebrated 4 goals, and a recall to Aston Villa, where he was limited to one appearance.
His thirst for regular football led to a loan move to Hull City during the 2023-2024 season, where he bagged 11 goals in 32 outings. Back at Villa Park for the 2024-2025 season, Philogene has since featured 11 times for Aston Villa.
His recent exploits have also seen him kick a ball in the 2024-2025 League Cup for Aston Villa, net 3 goals for England U21 in the UEFA U21 Championship Qualifiers, and make his bow in the elite club competition: Champions League 2024-2025 for Aston Villa, where he managed one start and two substitute appearances.
